[Asterisk-Users] Ok, Im confused

[Scott Weis]

The simple answer probably is, If you have a NAT firewall (like a linksys,
netgear, dlink, etc) it will not work.

If your linux machine is directly connected follow the instructions on the
wiki and it will work no problems.  I could not get FWD to work at all until
I made my linux box  the outside edge of my network.
